The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch-Chapter 106 - Slay Demons, Eliminate Evil (2/2)
A series of faint sounds arose near Ciel’s feet. She looked down and saw a fist-sized terrifying creature, a patchwork of flesh and grey fur, crawling towards her feet with twisted limbs.
Over a dozen black eyes, like green beans, rotated towards Ciel. Its mouth, filled with jagged teeth and too small to fit even a finger, opened towards Ciel, emitting a hissing roar.
A silver light flashed. Deadly Blood Roland materialized in Ciel’s right hand. She held the gun with both hands, aiming directly at the terrifying creature on the ground.
“Gurgle—” Upon seeing Ciel’s action, the terrifying creature let out a strange cry, then turned and fled, disappearing into the bloody mist.
Ciel resisted the dizziness and chaotic whispers brought by Blood Roland’s side effects, her hand holding the gun trembling slightly.
In her vision, thin black tendrils had already wrapped around Blood Roland’s barrel, even binding Ciel’s hands to it.
Blood-red Rolands bloomed along those tendrils. The blood-red petals reflected unfamiliar faces, some angry, some gentle—the only commonality was that those faces looked blown apart, fragmented.
Blood dripped down Ciel’s hands. The dizziness brought by blood loss also began to wash over Ciel. She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
No, can’t stay here any longer... There’s a transcendent messing around nearby!

It could very well be the mastermind who placed the misfortune rule on her!
Ciel hesitated no longer. Gripping Blood Roland, she quickly charged into the bloody mist ahead. At this moment, her figure flickered again. Her grey-blue long hair reverted to long, straight red hair. The clothes she wore changed into a slightly oversized expensive dress.
Why now of all times...
【Temporal Disorder】 shifted Ciel’s body to the No.0 pure save file. At this moment, she temporarily lost all transcendent abilities, yet everything before her didn’t dissipate due to the save file switch.
This wasn’t some body-locking ability... nor some hallucinogenic toxin. If it were either of those, everything should have vanished the moment the save file switched.
But now, not only did the bloody mist before her not disappear, it actually thickened. Even breathing felt like drinking blood, leaving a sticky, rusty taste in her throat.
Most importantly.
The whispers in Ciel’s mind didn’t stop.
This was No.0, the pure save file, essentially an ordinary person’s form, the save file of the real Ciel who was never plagued by whispers.
But at this moment, Ciel, in the pure save file, heard screams and whispers that should have been impossible.
Caw—
A harsh crow’s cry made Ciel instinctively look up.
At this moment, her vision seemed to pierce through countless layers of bloody mist, locking onto the “creature” overhead.
It was a massive three-headed monstrous bird. It vibrated its wings in the air. Its wings lacked feathers, instead covered with black, hair-like filaments.
Crow’s cry... Before encountering misfortune earlier, she had also seen a black raven.
Is it that?
With no time to carefully identify it, Ciel directly raised the Blood Roland in her hand, aimed at the circling behemoth, and pulled the trigger.
“Bang—!”
Ciel only felt some of her flesh and blood being violently drained. Blood Roland’s muzzle spurted a large amount of blood mist. A deep red projectile shot out, pierced through layers of bloody mist, and directly entered the behemoth’s body.
However, the bullet passed straight through it, flying further into the sky—the giant creature seemed to exist on a different plane from Ciel altogether; the bullet had no effect on it whatsoever.
“Gurgle—”
Suddenly, a gurgling sound, like that of an abyssal monster, echoed before Ciel. She immediately raised her gun, aiming at the bloody mist in front.
In her vision, opposite the dense layers of bloody mist, a terrifying humanoid monster holding a bone club, its body half-decayed, raised the bone club and approached Ciel.
Dark green liquid, like concentrated sulfuric acid, dripped continuously from the monster’s body. It raised the bone club in its right hand towards Ciel, while its left hand placed a rodent skull into its mouth.
The next moment, green pus was spat into the small, twisted skull. A piercing, sharp shriek echoed in Ciel’s mind, nearly causing her spirit to collapse.
Such a strong sealed artifact!
Ciel didn’t hesitate, pulling the trigger directly!
Bang—!
A bloody Roland bloomed on the monster’s chest. The monster lost all resistance and fell backward stiffly.
But the fall of one monster attracted more—the sealed artifact in its hand summoned all its companions!
Sharp hisses began to rise and fall. More monsters emerged from the bloody mist, waving bone clubs and approaching Ciel.
Just then, Ciel’s figure distorted again. The expensive dress changed into a black church long robe. An inexplicable fire began to burn from Ciel’s chest.
Very lucky, “Judicator” Ciel, at this moment, returned to Ciel’s control.
The unbearable sounds caused Ciel’s head to split. Shrieks and screams echoed in her mind. The more these monsters affected Ciel this way, the more her anger grew limitlessly.
“Heh...” Ciel glared angrily at the monsters, exhaled a long breath. Silver light flashed, the Blood Roland in her hand vanished. She raised her right hand, index and middle fingers extended, waved forward slightly. Four black shadows surged out directly from behind her.
The monsters rushing over collapsed under the black shadows in an instant. Pus-like liquid, seemingly poisonous, flowed from their bodies onto the black gravel ground, emitting sizzling white smoke.
The deaths of these monsters didn’t make Ciel feel any better.
Instead, a larger scale of tragic howls exploded in Ciel’s mind. Under the shroud of bloody mist before her, more monstrous shadows began to emerge from the darkness.
Those terrifying creatures, like demons and ghosts, ran wildly, roaring furiously.
Attempting to torture Ciel to death in this manner.
